Radio France Internationale Reviews

by Cisfairbanks

I really love to listen to RFI. RadioFranceInternationale was working fine until the last update. It started to go off when my screen goes off, I have to keep my screen on to listen to news, and keep keep it on for long to listen to couleur tropical, 7milliard de voisin and other. Consequently, my phone heats up, and my battery goes down in lest then 2h.
I hope the tech team will immediately fix the problem with a new update. For now, my rating is 5/5 for the radio RFI and 1/10 for RadioFranceInternationale .

In the past 24 hours, RadioFranceInternationale has spent 1 min in the foreground, and 1.9 hours doing stuff in the background, using 28% of my battery. Don’t have Background Refresh turned on for RadioFranceInternationale . Something is definitely wrong; there must be a bug of some kind.

App was working beautifully until today. Now it won’t play when screen is locked. This makes it useless. Also, what’s with the annoying pop-up ad? This also appeared today, so I the two are related.

The audio streaming stops if the screen eventually goes dark when the phone is inactive. You apparently have to keep touching it to continue the streaming. Also, it doesn't work in the background, which makes it impossible to use another app while listening.

The older versions worked better. Nowadays RadioFranceInternationale crashes all the time. One must always restart which is annoying.

Had it down-loaded for about 5 minutes! Upside down - it won’t spin upright on iPad! Rebooted, now it’s a blank screen. I have the latest iOS on my iPad. Too bad, so sad!

I am mad. This USED to be in my TOP three for design and function.
Poor #ux with this complete re-design. Hate the RFI iOS app has gone from navigation like a real radio to navigation like a brochure. Flat and boring.

Crashes on open. Delete/reinstall didn’t help. This latest release needs a do-over.

My app doesn’t work at all, I’ve updated it and deleted it but it still doesn’t work.

RadioFranceInternationale crashes constantly. So disappointing.

RadioFranceInternationale is riddled with ads. How can a news channel that prides itself in providing quality contents display the worst kind of pseudo-news click baits. The full screen ads completely kill the user experience.

This application is poorly designed. Please fix it. It crashes when opening links. There is no way to increase the size of the letters and the only view available is portrait.

Just downloaded the latest (brand new!) version and every time I click on “International” RadioFranceInternationale crashes. FYI I have the latest iOS & an 11Pro.

Nice app!

It would be very nice and a more complete app if text in news boxes, could be selected so I could use the 'iOS Define' option.

News, live feeds, previously recorded programming are all nice, the best of very few choices for RFI apps, but RadioFranceInternationale still feels unfinished:

Can't background the audio, can't skip around by time in the prerecorded audio, UI isn't modern and not always easy to distinguish between a news item for listening or reading.

Use it a few times a week but looking forward to a newer version.

RadioFranceInternationale has a very bad habit of crashing upon launch when launching in English. I’m not sure why the quality of apps developed by France Medias Monde is so bad.
